SFU Quiz Bowl would like to announce Buzzer-Aid,
a fundraising quizbowl tournament, to be held at
Simon Fraser Universitys Burnaby Mountain campus on
Saturday, March 9th. The novice-level questions will be
written in house, and theyll be academic with a healthy
dose of trash. This event is open to all who are
willing to pony up $20 CDN to play, regardless of gender,
race or creed, unless youre *into* Creed, in which
case Ill give you a nickel back (sans Chad Kroeger)
for an I-Pity-You refund. The proceeds from this
event will be used to pay for a buzzer system that our
club desperately needs, seeing as borrowing equipment
from local high schools isnt a good way to gain
legitimacy.

We would also like to announce that on the following
weekend (Saturday, March 16th to be precise), SFU Quiz
Bowl will be hosting Clan Canadian Championship II:
Pinkys Brain Drain, the first collegiate invitational in
the Pacific Northwest since 2000s Husky Bowl at UW
(Im not counting the various VETOs, of course). This
tournament will be academic as well, with questions
targeting a more experienced audience, as we are
expecting/hoping teams like Oregon and Washington will join in the
fun. Best of all, it will be completely FREE to all
participants! Thats right, FREE! But wait! Theres
more!

Im planning on running Exit Music II: My Sweet Mary
Lou Lord, a mainly 90s to present name-that-tune
style audio recall competition, during either
Buzzer-Aid or CCC II. Anyone running tournaments around that
time who are interested in mirroring this (Ill be
making 30-second clips for each song), email me (see
address below).

BTW, were still working on
getting questions for CCC II, so if you have a recent set
of academic questions and are willing to
donate/sell/trade it for use in a non-profit tourney for the
betterment of quizbowl in the Northwest (*cough*), please
contact Brock Stephenson (brocks_at_...) or me, Hanson Ho
(hwho_at_...). Anybody interested in playing can contact us as
well.

And to the new team at UBC: *definitely* contact us
about this or anything else that will help get you
started!
